Whatever else is involved, there is no
disputing the fact that he shot and killed an unarmed teen-ager who was
doing nothing more than walking through his neighborhood. The event was
precipitated by Zimmerman.

I ask again, would you feel the same way if it was you who had shot an
unarmed teenager (in your house, just to follow your other note).
In Maryland, the castle doctrine is not very inclusive.
Basically you need to jump out a window if you can to retreat.

A home invader is not the same as a kid walking down the street.

He's saying you would have to jump out the window and run. That doesn't
square with your "blow their heads off" defense strategy. ;-)

We also have to remember Harry went to quite an effort to get a
Maryland carry permit, so he must think he was going to have to shoot
someone on the street. I wonder how badly he would have to be getting
beaten before he pulled his gat.

Actually, it was a modest effort.
